Beckoning To Theatre


BECKONING TO THEATRE

Amber rocks lie expectant in their brackish sunken homes
resting small, swaying in wind's sunlit water-rhytmn
winking and nodding in changing breeze.

By day they mime from their water holes
and wild mountain-talk by night.

Reclining on spring grasses by our turf bank
we watch the beckoning theatre.
